NEW! NEW! 
HELEN TRAUBEL. All-American Winner for 
1952. Illustrated on inside front cover. Originated 
by Herb Swim of Armstrong’s who has given us 
so many fine roses. Named after one of America’s 
greatest concert artists. The color of Helen Trau- 
bel varies with the weather—sometimes a light 
sparkling pink, more often a luminous apricot 
color. (The pink seems to predominate in our 
Spokane area.) The unusually large, long, sleek 
buds are magnificent in themselves. The half-open 
flower maintains a delightful fullness of form, 
and even when full blown, the big petaled flow- 
ers display the lovely color in a lavish way. The 
‘flowers are often 6 inches across but always grace- 
ful. It has a mild pleasant fragrance. 31% ft. 
Pat. 1028: $2.75 each. 
MISSION BELLS. An All-American winner for 1950. 
To get top honors in the rose world today, a rose must 
have vigor and Mission Bells qualifies in every respect 
with a strong heavily branched plant, attractively fol- 
iaged, nearly always in bloom. Its pointed well-shaped 
buds are a deep glowing salmon-pink, opening to full 
high-centered flowers of clear shrimp pink. Richly fra-

TAFFETA. Like most two-toned roses, this one some- 
what variable according to the season, the soil and the 
climate. The predominate colors are orange, begonia 
and carmine with some yellow and gold at the base. 
Foliage is a very dark green that turns to mahogany 
red at maturity. 2% ft. Pat. 716. $1.75 each. 
FAVORITES 
JUNO. In no other pink rose will you find such large 
size, clear color, perfection of form and long lasting 
substance. It will give you magnificent individual flow- 
ers for cutting that are exhibition quality. Clear pink 
without other shadings. Lacks fragrance but perfect 
otherwise. Pat. 895. 4 ft. $2.00 each. 
K. T. MARSHALL. A soft-salmon pink of lovely form. 
Long lasting; heavy petals; fine for cutting. Pat. 607.

SUZON LOTTHE. Suzon’s peach-colored buds hold 
their high, peach colored centers while row after row 
of outer petals slowly roll open to show their tints of 
pearl pink. Sometimes you will notice a deep pink where 
exposed to the sun and pearly white where another 
petal has overlapped. Very sheen and smooth texture, 
delicious fragrance. Originated by the man who gave 
us Peace. 3 ft. Pat. 934. $2.50 each. 
SYMPHONIE. We like to think of both Suzon Lotthe 
and Symphonie as roses in the ‘Peace Class”. Together 
with Charles Mallerin, they have been originated by 
Francis Meilland, the man who gave us Peace. Sym- 
phonie is very much pink. The color is made up of 
luscious pink that goes over a silvery tint. We par- 
ticularly like the veins in the flower that spread a fine 
pattern, like a silken net, of deepest carmine pink. 
Blooms are huge on a very strong plant. It could almost 
be called the “Pink Peace’. [Illustrated on inside front

to take the place of Lulu. Very streamlined two inch 
urn-shaped buds that are unsurpassed for boutonnieres, 
corsages and bouquets. Orange tints inside with a terra 
cotta hue outside. Petals veined. Alluring sweet perfume 
fragrance. We suggest that you plant three of them 
this year to insure that you have plenty of flowers for 
arrangements. Also see our special offer No. 7 on page 
7 which includes this rose. 3% ft. $1.50 each. 
MAY WE MAKE A SUGGESTION 
When planting roses, try to plant at least three of one variety together. This will give you more 
color, and more flowers of the same kind for cutting. We believe too many people make the error of 
having only one of a kind in their garden. Why not choose the varieties you like best and then plant 
at least three of them in a group. Try it and you will see what we mean. You can also save substantially 
by ordering 3 or more roses of one variety.
